allowing you to install the 10 6-32 screws. Installation is simple, torque to your desired range – if you haven’t lined up one of the rows of holes to attach the forend, a few ft/lbs either direction will put you in-line perfectly – visual adjustment is simple ahead of installing the forend, just align the very top row with the gas tube – while it does help to install the gas block and tube before the barrel nut, as Manticore has outlined in the instructions, I’ve tried it both ways with no issues – and the rail will slide into place. In use what this allows when installing is a “halfway” position between where you would normally find them.
